Great video! Ironically I find myself holding my breath in go karts and sometimes in several positions. I was hit by a car over a decade ago while riding my motorcycle. I’m very familiar with physical fitness. Being older your videos makes a lot of sense. I’ve watched at least 50-60% of your videos from 2011 to present day. Great info and too bad you aren’t in the south! 👍🏾
Really appreciated this discussion, it felt to me like it put together a lot of ideas from your previous videos and conversations. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you sir! As a CPT and PTA I appreciate your book more than almost any book thus far, but I did read several Stuart McGill and MacKenzie manuals for clinicians and was scaring patients into avoiding flexion (and myself!) forever. Which like you said, makes little sense long term. Would you be willing to give a review on Postural Restoration Institute methods? I recently took a class from them, very interesting methods that are very different from any I've seen being done regularly. Thank you for your work Kelly and team!! 🙏 💪 👏 😊
While exerting forces, what you're trying to do is attain and maintain an optimal (as low as possible to avoid collapse/injury) intra-abdominal pressure to keep truck rigidity and allow force transfer to be done efficiently. Correctly tensioning the abdmoinal and surround regions muscles increases intra-abdminal pressure, just like breathing does. To breathe and maintain that ideal intra-abdominal pressure while exerting force, proportionally decrease pressure applied by the abdominal and surrounding regions to allow for breathing. As intensity increases you have less room for breathing during that moment of exerting forces, so your capacity for breathing will be diminished (as you need to hold in your breath + contract muscle to keep that optimal tension, since it's much higher). Example 1: While walking you're exerting minimal forces. You'll keep a low, barely changing, abdominal tension that allows for thorough breathing. When sprinting, on the moment of impact with the ground (where you're exerting as much force as you can), your abdominal tension will increase proportionally with the force exerted and your breathing will be impacted. When sprinting at max capacity you may even stop breathing altogether to allow for more rigidity and better transfer of forces. Hope this makes sense.
That was a real life saver thank you. Any advice for getting pressure off of your joints? I feel my muscles doing a lot more pushing & pulling into them rather than controlling them well. 4 years of chronic pain & my nervous system & all the most tender muscles around it are in such a state of shock that I don't know how to engage them anymore, getting a foam roller this last month has made a huge difference (thank you) would Cold plunges maybe make a difference? I basically can't relax at all, especially in the neck & hips; Makes it hard to recruit strength into my abdominal area & diaphragm. I really wish somebody showed me this video 4 years ago. Lol, could you manage a program for all the people getting back injuries in Canada? Whoever is in charge right now ( or lack there of ) is doing a nightmare job.
All very interesting. A great listen. The Weck Method is on the rise, but the guy is a unique character. The way he moves seems completely unnatural. Would love to hear the opinions on this.
You are my hero, pressuisation strategy exhale firstif an 360 and up downand createpresure form the stiffness

Thank you for going so in-depth on this concept.
This is really good and useful
Sooo be a well organized garden hose and not a grilled bulging hotdog. 👍 Masterful as always. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent video Kel!
Fantastic info! Thanks

So then how do you breathe and brace without a belt and without your trunk expanding?

I would also check out The Feldenkrais Method which focuses on somatic organization. Also, Kevin Moore/ The Reembody Method
